But none of the people present were fooled by my innocent expression.
"Today, the sixth princess heard that I was back, so she kindly came to visit me, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down and explained some political affairs, and then Gu Xiang suddenly appeared and talked nonsense with me, and the emperor's dictation arrived." I broke away from Gu Yuancheng's hand, and leaned slightly towards Du Rong, "The whole process is like this, I can swear to the sky, I didn't say a word of lie." ”
Tonight, this group of ancestors will not leave me again, tomorrow the emperor will know, especially Pei Dang, a "party for personal gain" hat buttoned down, I will not be able to eat and leave.
Although I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, the ones present were so calm and relaxed that even Cen Yuhe seemed to have any questions and didn't ask me.
In the face of this situation, I decided to use the tactics of each breakdown.
"Princess." I looked at Cen Yuhe, "My daughter's family should pay attention to her appearance the most, and now it's almost midnight, and it's not good for the princess's complexion." ”
Cen Yu was shocked, and hurriedly covered her cheeks with her hands and stood up, but even so, she still didn't want to leave.
"Shen Qingzhi, this princess asked you, who is the girl in the neon dress?" Cen Yuhe asked a little angrily.
Girl in a Dress?
I instantly moved my gaze to Sun Hu on the side, and when Sun Hu saw me looking at him, he immediately shook his head at me with a bitter face.
"Not me." He lip-synched me like this.
It's not Sun Hu, could it be that Yuhe bumped into her own?
It won't be so unlucky.
"She... She ......" I immediately glanced at Cen Xi's face, then looked at Cen Yuhe, and said very sincerely, "She was brought back by Weichen 'when the road is uneven, draw a knife to help', and now she is seriously injured, Weichen sees her pitiful, so he left her in the house to recuperate." ”
"Is that really all there is?" Cen Yuhe's eyes lit up, and he looked at me with a sparkling gaze.
Being looked at by her so trustingly, I was really a little weak-hearted, but Cen Xi, Gu Yuancheng and something were all present, and I couldn't show weakness, so I could only nod my head seriously, and said to her, "Please go back early, it's cold at night, and it's easy to catch cold." ”
Cen Yuhe saw that I cared about her so much, and lowered her head a little embarrassed.
Reaching out and pulling Lazenxi's sleeve, she blushed and whispered, "Brother Huang, let's go back, he has to rest early, there are so many things to be busy every day......"
"......" feelings, his royal brother, is idle every day and has nothing to do?
"Your Highness." I moved my gaze to Cen Xi, "You are going to set off tomorrow morning, tonight Weichen really doesn't dare to delay your rest, please accompany the princess back to the palace early." ”
My words made Cen Xi a little puzzled when he heard it, "You don't ......"
"The emperor told Weichen to go to Posa Village tomorrow to investigate the matter." Knowing what he was going to ask, I spoke up and immediately interrupted him.
"The ...... of Posa Village" Cen Xi groaned, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he stood up and prepared to leave, "Whether you have figured it out yourself, or the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, this palace is very satisfied with your answer." ”
Slightly stunned, I quickly closed my eyes.
"Nishang is really just a poor person who met me in Pingshui." Cen Xi walked past me, and somehow, I felt the need to add this sentence to feel at ease.
After a pause, Cen Xi glanced at me, didn't say anything, and left with Cen Yuhe.
"Gu Xiang, please, the door of my Prime Minister's Mansion is about to close." Two people I couldn't afford to offend left, and I suddenly felt that the weight on top of my head was a lot lighter, and now there was only Gu Yuancheng, an idle person, waiting, and I didn't need to pretend to be respectful.
"You're too rude to me, aren't you?" Gu Yuancheng saw me like this, coupled with my cold attitude towards him just now, his face suddenly fell, "Anyway, I also eloped with you thousands of miles away, and you abandoned me like this?" ”
"Who eloped with you? Speak to be responsible! I snorted coldly and opened my eyes, quickly changed my peaceful face, and said to Du Rong beside me, "You will live in the mansion tonight, and I will ask the housekeeper to clean up a guest room for you." ”
Du Rong raised his eyebrows and glanced at me, but he didn't respond, and he didn't answer.
"You're discriminating!" Gu Yuancheng was furious.
"The essence is to treat you differently, what can you do?" I lowered my eyelids to look at him, and I was very afraid.
Gu Yuancheng glared at me, but I turned my head away, and in the end, Gu Yuancheng was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away.
As soon as I saw Gu Yuancheng's figure disappear, I immediately collapsed to the ground like a loss of strength, but fortunately, Du Rong kept supporting me, so I was not so embarrassed.
"It's too deliberate for you to be angry with him like this." Du Rong frowned, helped me to the seat and sat down.
"Whatever." I slumped down my shoulders in exhaustion and waved my hand weakly, "Anyway, he can't stay with me tonight anyway." "Qiyin
"So worried about his safety?" Du Rong squatted down and began to roll up my pants as he asked.
I couldn't answer this question, and I didn't want to answer it, so I could only change the topic and say, "Anyway, you have always had nothing to do, do you want to go with me?" ”
Du Rong shook his head, took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve and began to sprinkle it on my legs.
"I'm going back to Qizhou tomorrow."
Hearing this, I wondered, "What's the matter, is it a letter from Master?" ”
"It's not." Du Rong rolled up his sleeves and began to knead on the acupoints on my legs, "I want to go back by myself." ”
"Something happened in Qizhou?" I saw that he was abnormal, and I couldn't help but worry.
Du Rong sighed, stopped the movement in his hand and looked up at me, "Don't always take the affairs of Qizhou to heart, it's far from the time for you to worry about it, but it's your legs, what's going on?" ”
I didn't receive the news of the accident in Qizhou, looking at Du Rong's appearance, it is indeed that I am too worried, but a hidden danger is always hanging in my heart, which inevitably makes people worry from time to time.
"I'm fine, it's just that I've been kneeling for a long time, and I'm just a little out of breath." I smiled at him, but I couldn't get rid of the tiredness in my eyebrows and eyes, no matter how much I tried to hide it.
"Kneeling for a long time?" Du Rong understood what I meant in an instant, and he continued to press the acupoints for me, and his hands were not light or heavy, just right.
"Wei Yinghou Mansion...... It's better to go as little as possible. Du Rong paused and admonished me, "If you don't like to worry about the immediate gains and losses with them, it is inevitable that you will always suffer some losses." ”
I pursed my lower lip and lowered my eyes, "My mother is there, I can't let her suffer in that kind of cannibalistic place and turn a blind eye." ”
"Have you asked her if she would like to move with you to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Du Rong didn't argue with me about this matter, but asked me another question.
I stiffened my expression and didn't answer.
"Looks like I've asked a similar question." Du Rong sighed, "You are already the prime minister of a country, and now Wei Yinghou's Mansion should rely on your snort, instead of restraining you everywhere, your mother...... I probably don't want you to be in a dilemma because she's always in a dilemma, right? ”
"Today, I deliberately revealed in front of her that I was going to punish kneeling in the ancestral hall." I suddenly talked about what I was in Wei Yinghou's Mansion today, and my voice became a little hoarse, "But because she was worried about her father's injury, she didn't really hear a few words of what I said. ”
"So she didn't ask me about kneeling, and she didn't think about sending me off." I blinked, but there was no expression on my face, "Maybe she thought I was back in the carriage, but ......"
But what?
I tried to think about it, but my mind was blank.
Du Rong stopped his movements, looked up at me, and then lowered his head and continued to help me press up.
If you don't have some things in the beginning, then even if you want to have them in the future, how can you start with them?
Like the bow to the sky and the moon, like the love of the water world, the love moon has never been pity, and the river and water are boundless.
Afterglow, covering the world.
Du Rong went back to the guest room to rest, and I also went back to my bedroom, and when I fell on the bed, I really felt that my whole body was in a kind of comfort that I had never felt before, but when this comfortable feeling passed, the tiredness that covered my heart immediately drowned me like a sweeping tide.
Go to sleep, you have to deal with the people of the Pei Party tomorrow.
I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep lightly.
The next day, the Jinluan Temple, the early dynasty of the ministers.
"Your Majesty, Shen Xiang left the Qin Kingdom without your approval, and now although the envoy has merit, but it is too much meritorious, if you don't punish it a little, won't the ministers have to follow the same example in the future?" There are old ministers who come out of the ranks, with solemn expressions and earnest voices, as if if they don't drag me down and cut me down immediately, Daqin will be destroyed.
"Your Majesty." There are young officials in the ranks, the words are clear and smooth, and there is a loud voice: "When Lord Shen Xiang left Qinguo, he was not a prime minister, and he did not have an official position, so he did not have many precepts of the imperial court, as long as the border was released, Lord Shen Xiang naturally had the qualifications to leave Qinguo." Moreover, after Lord Shen Xiang was ordered to send an envoy, he achieved a lot of results, and the border issue that lasted for a hundred years was likely to be resolved. ”
"Nonsense!" The old minister immediately turned around and scolded, "This is the court, not a place for you to make trouble with me, in front of the emperor, how can you be presumptuous?" ”
"The son didn't have a quarrel with his father, one is one, two is two, and every word the son says is worthy of the monarch of heaven and earth."
"You!"
"Alright, alright." Emperor Cen waved his hand, "Aiqing's family affairs should be left until the court, as for Shen Qing, the hard work is high, and it cannot be slandered, today I will reward 100,000 yuan in silver, three catties of immortal tea, a pair of white jade hanging chessboards, ten horses of imperial tribute, and 30 daughters and 100 slaves, and Bai Qing has escorted all the way, and is now promoted to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, in charge of all the forbidden troops in the palace. “
"We're thanking you."
